Directed by: John Milius
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, Sandahl Bergman
Factual error: When Conan cuts off Thulsa Doom's head, and throws it over the parapet, it hits the stairs below and rolls a little way down. Not only are there absolutely no marks left on the stairs (there should at least be a small amount of blood), it sounds like something plastic is rolling down there.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Conan's mother is killed, we see her using both hands to hold her sword toward Thulsa Doom and his men. The camera cuts to young Conan and he is holding her right hand. When the camera cuts back to her, she is holding the sword with both hands again.
Mark BernhardSuggested correction: It's not an inmediate shot, there's plenty of time in between for her to change the grip.
SachaKing Osric: What daring! What outrageousness! What insolence! What arrogance... I salute you.
Trivia: In the scene where Conan is wrapped in a blanket and being painted to ward of the spirits, Arnold Schwarzenegger actually fell asleep while filming this.
lonnypAnswer: Not in the movies, but in the original books. He escaped by grinding his chain between two millstones until it broke.
TwotallAnswer: Conan was an undefeated fighter in the pit, who made his owner very wealthy and powerful. The look on his owner's face was of sadness and gratitude. He earned his freedom.
